THE recent Christmas Fair at St Mark's Church was another brilliant success. A great deal of hard work was done by a few dedicated people to organise the work.

The church hall was a hive of activity with stalls doing a roaring trade.

A grand total of £1,800 was raised for church funds. A big thank you to all the helpers and customers who helped to make it a success.

A FULL planning application has been submitted for the erection of two sets of two-metre-high gates at the rear of numbers 1 and 19 Leaver Street, Rosegrove. Any comments should quote application number App/2003/1107 before January 16, 2004. For more information contact Burnley Borough Council Community Safety Team, Town Hall, Burnley.

THE family social evening at St Mark's Church for Saturday, January 4, 2004 has been cancelled until February.

A LOCAL resident has taken a photograph of dumped rubbish at Imperial Mill, Rosegrove, and passed it to Stuart Caddy at his surgery on Saturday morning at the library. The complaint has been passed on to the environmental health department to investigate and take the necessary action.
